Subject Music in rural South African schools : challenges and solutions within a comparative contextJansen van Vuuren, Eurika 24 October 2011 (has links)
Music in the learning area Arts and Culture and the subject Music fight for survival in rural South Africa. Neither more experienced educators nor new generalist teachers were trained to teach the four art forms of Arts and Culture. Courses for Arts and Culture as learning area at universities are scarce and the courses that do exist mostly cater for students who already have a background in music. Other courses again only cover two or three art forms and do not follow the actual school curriculum for Arts and Culture. This then leaves the educator unprepared to deal with the realities of the learning area. Many principals and educators regard Arts and Culture as a filler subject for educators who do not have enough lessons on their timetables. The lack of knowledge amongst educators, a curriculum with no logical progression and scarcity of resources have resulted in learners who are inadequately prepared for and not interested to continue with Music as subject in grade 10 to 12 which in turn leads to fewer music students at universities and fewer music educators. This thesis aimed to pinpoint some of the challenges in Music and suggest possible solutions to start a remedial process to get Music back into schools. Educators, principals and subject advisors were consulted regarding the challenges they are experiencing in music and suggestions and possible solutions were sought from literature and experts in the field of music. The finding has been that similar challenges are experienced throughout South Africa and these challenges are amplified in rural areas. The present situation where untrained educators have to teach a specialist area like music as part of Arts and Culture can only be improved with an ongoing process of intensive workshops and mentoring programmes for in-service educators by subject advisors who are qualified in music and music experts who have an in-depth knowledge of the school curriculum. It will also be advisable for the Department of Basic Education to appoint more subject advisors and also appoint them according to their specialization area/s so that they are capable of assisting educators effectively. / Thesis (DMus)--University of Pretoria, 2011. / Music / unrestricted

A Quantitative Analysis of an Eating Disorder Prevention ProgramMurray, Jennalee 09 March 2011 (has links) (PDF)
Eating disorders affect millions of people in the United States alone. This study aimed to test the effectiveness of a preventative curriculum for eating disorders called Eating Disorders: Physical, Social, and Emotional Consequences, A High School Curriculum about Anorexia, Bulimia, and Compulsive Eating (EDPSEC). Participants included an experimental group of 27 students in their ninth grade health class and a control group of 21 students. The research examined the integrity of the curriculum administration and changes in participating students' attitudes and behaviors. The outcome measures used were students' scores on the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26) and the Eating Survey (ES). Results indicate high treatment integrity (85%) and significant change on students' EAT-26 scores, but not students' ES scores. Students' EAT-26 and ES scores correlated highly. Although a more robust sample and wider testing of the curriculum is needed, this study indicates that a school-based preventative program can yield positive results in changing some students' attitudes toward disordered eating.

A Qualitative Exploration of Adolescent Girls' Experience in an Eating Disorder Prevention CurriculumSmedley, Jill L. 05 July 2011 (has links) (PDF)
Eating disorders are a widespread problem that affects millions of people each year in the United States. Research-based prevention programs are becoming more and more important as this number rises. This study qualitatively examined the effectiveness of a prevention program called Eating Disorders: Physical, Social, and Emotional Consequences, A High School Curriculum about Anorexia, Bulimia, and Compulsive Eating (EDPSEC). Study participants included 10 female students in a ninth grade health class in a junior high school in Utah. The integrity of curriculum administration was analyzed and interviews were conducted. The aim of the interviews was to determine what students who received the curriculum felt about the program and eating disorders in general. Results indicate that while treatment integrity was considered low (45%), students still found value in the curriculum and enjoyed participating in it. While a wider sample size and concurrent quantitative data are needed to further support these findings, this student indicates that the EDPSEC program is a viable option for implementing an eating disorder prevention curriculum in the secondary school setting.

Previous issue date: 2012-10-25 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / The theme of this research is the Secondary School that is organized by Sets of
Semester-long Subjects, a curriculum developed by the State Department of
Education of Paraná - SEED / PR - and introduced in 2009. The objective of this
study is to evaluate this proposal for secondary school. For this reason, this
project presents the following question as a research problem: the teaching model
of Secondary School Grouped in "blocks" helped increase the period students stay
in school, and notice their strengths and difficulties regarding this proposal. The
main references that guide this research are the following authors: Kuenzer
(2000), Frigotto and Ciavatta (2003), Ramos (2004), Cury (2002, 2008), Freire
(1996), Arroyo (2004); Apple (2006) and Saviani (2007, 2010). As the
methodological direction, the research adopted a qualitative approach, with an
analysis of the school s documents. The instrument used to collect data was the
structured questionnaire answered by 71 subjects: 57 students, 14 educators. In
order to interpret the data, convergences and divergences indicated in the
statements of the research subjects were sought, through inter-subjective
dialogues and, at the same time, empirical and with required theories. The
research revealed that that there was a slight decline in student dropout in
secondary school grouped in "blocks" at the studied school. Moreover, it revealed
that the new proposal has been contributing to improve the quality of education.
However it also presented difficulties that must be overcome since the need to
adapt the proposed project was confirmed / A pesquisa tem como tema o Ensino Médio Organizado por Blocos de Disciplinas
Semestrais, uma proposta curricular elaborada pela Secretaria de Estado da
Educação do Paraná - SEED/PR - e implantada no ano de 2009. O presente
estudo tem como objetivo avaliar essa proposta para Ensino Médio; para tanto
traz como problema de pesquisa o seguinte questionamento: o modelo do Ensino
Médio Blocado permitiu aumentar a permanência dos alunos e saber quais são
seus aspectos positivos e dificuldades encontradas nessa proposta. Da literatura
especializada os autores Kuenzer (2000), Frigotto e Ciavatta (2003), Ramos
(2004), Cury (2002, 2008), Freire (1996); Arroyo (2004); Apple (2006) e Saviani
(2007, 2010) são as principais referências que norteiam esta pesquisa. Como
encaminhamento metodológico a pesquisa adotou uma abordagem qualitativa,
tendo como procedimento a análise dos documentos do Colégio. Na coleta de
dados foi utilizado como instrumento o questionário estruturado, respondido por
71 sujeitos. São eles: 57 alunos, 14 educadores. Na interpretação dos dados
buscaram-se as convergências e divergências apontadas nas falas dos sujeitos
da pesquisa, dialogando na intersubjetividade, ao mesmo tempo com o empírico e
com as teorias requeridas. A pesquisa constatou que houve uma pequena queda
na desistência dos alunos no Ensino Médio Blocado do Colégio em questão, além
disso, revelou que a nova proposta vem contribuindo para melhorar a qualidade
da educação; entretanto apresentou também dificuldades que precisam ser
superadas visto ter-se constatado a necessidade de adequação da proposta

The possibility of Africanization of the curriculum in Namibia in the light of the African experienceKangueehi, Albertus Kuzeeko 11 1900 (has links)
It is widely accepted that in order for education to serve the
people effectively, the school curriculum should be localised.
In Namibia a high rate of failure, unemployment and a low
standard of life, especially among the black section of the
population, is attributed to the foreign education which the
people receive.
This study attempts to shed some light on the nature of school
curriculum. From a comparative study of attempts of
Africanisation of the school curriculum in three African
countries, some universal strategies can be distilled.
A short survey is given of the school curriculum in Namibia and
the history of its development.
Finally, on the basis of the distilled strategies, some
guidelines are drawn concerning Africanisation of the school
curriculum in Namibia. These guidelines could be used to make
the school curriculum in Namibia more relevant / Educational Studies / M. Ed. (Comparative Education)

An appraisal of determinants affecting grade 9 learners’ selection of subjects in the field of technology for the FET phase in the Sedibeng areaKruger, Jan Adriaan January 2015 (has links)
Notwithstanding the possibilities offered by FET subjects in the field of Technology,
the selection of these subjects is not very common which results in a shortage of
skilled trade workers, impacting negatively on the country’s economic growth. The
researcher was therefore interested to establish the determinants affecting Grade 9
learners’ selection of subjects in the field of Technology for the FET Phase in the
Sedibeng area. By means of a literature and empirical study the aforementioned
was investigated.
In the literature study, which provided the foundation for the study, the rationale and
value of Technology education and its infusion in the South African school curriculum
were explored. This was followed by an examination of possible factors impacting
on learners’ subject choice. The literature study was concluded by providing a
concise outline of subject choices in the field of Technology as specified by the
Department of Basic Education.
The empirical study was based on a sequential explanatory mixed methods research
design. The research consisted of two parts. A quantitative survey, using self developed
questionnaires, was conducted in 17 schools among 10 Grade 9
Technology teachers and their learners (n=388) in two districts of the Sedibeng area.
This was followed by a qualitative, phenomenological study in which three
Technology subject facilitators working in the same area were interviewed.
By applying a factor analysis, the quantitative research results revealed that central
and peripheral factors affecting Grade 9 learners’ selection of subjects in the field of
Technology for the FET Phase in the Sedibeng area could be distinguished. The
central factors included the following: competent, compassionate teachers, the
personal and developmental value of the subject, stimulation and the distribution of
information regarding the subject. The range of subjects for the FET phase in the
field of Technology offered by schools, the complexity level of subjects in the field of
Technology, personal interest in a subject and future prospects offered by a subject
constituted the peripheral factors. The qualitative findings were used to clarify,
refine, explain and extend the quantitative results. The research participants in this
part of the study indicated that much could still be done to enhance the competence
and compassion of Technology teachers, that the value of Technology education
should be better justified and that the availability and quality of resources in the field
of Technology education deserves attention. There is thus evidence that much must
still be done to make the selection of subjects in the field of Technology more
attractive to learners.
